Hacking Linkstation Live
The other weekend I went out and bought one of the Buffalo Linkstation Live NAS boxes to play with. I got the Linkstation Live drive because the Kuro Box is currently out of stock and is almost identical in hardware to the Linkstation Live. I wanted to have a fun little hackable box to play with at my house.
Well this project was definitely not as easy as I would have thought. I bricked my Linkstation Live like 5 times. The box would only boot up to the Emergency Mode. Thank god for the Buffalo NAS wiki because they provided me with all the information I needed to get the box up and running again.
Using the instructions I found out how to install a Debian os on my system, boot up the system into EM mode, and recover the box with the default os. Listed below is a list of links from the wiki that I found most helpful with hacking the Linkstation Live v2 box.
I did figure out a neat little tick on how to get a bigger root partition on the box. I will have to wright up how to do that later.
